An Ode to Joy Division
 

I set myself a little challenge to write a poem based on the titles of songs by Joy Division, and this is what I came up with.

An Ode to Joy Division

I stood there in Warsaw
Watching the Leaders of Men
As they stand on platforms of Glass.
They revel in the Atmosphere
of Failures that have become somewhat of a Novelty These Days.

They begin the Digital Transmission of the fact that She's Lost Control.
There's No Love Lost in this fact. They knew that Komakino
Would never reveal where the Dead Souls were.
I knew that she would escape and go to safety. But From Safety to Where?
I worried that Love would tear us apart again...

I was right.

I was hoping this would be good because I'm performing on Saturday night in Coven Garden at the Poetry Cafe and this is what I'm kicking off with!

Thanks!

I'm a big fan of Joy Division and I really enjoyed this.
